“In just six minutes the employer finds the employee.”
Born and raised in Bangladesh, Sheikh Raiyamuzzaman’s journey from a determined master’s student to the founder and CEO of SwipeJobb is nothing short of inspiring. With a humble beginning, Sheikh set out with two ambitious goals – to study abroad and establish his own global technology company. Without sufficient funds to study abroad after receiving his bachelor’s degree, he formed a plan. “In Bangladesh, all doctors have their own offices. Many of them did not have websites or good methods of finding business.” Seeing a niche, he partnered with various medical salespeople to sell those services. And offered all the medical salespersons who met those doctors a ‘15%’ commission upon bringing orders’. The arrangement worked and he found himself with the funds necessary to start his Master’s education in Sweden. Sheikh’s unique approach, cultivated through his experience & network in helping medical professionals establish an online presence, laid the foundation for RNWIST’s success. This experience would also serve as the basis of RNWIST, a digital company specializing in now supporting startups and small to medium-sized businesses in their digital transformation. Since launching in 2017 & again in 2021 in Sweden, RNWIST has been at the forefront of developing apps, websites, MVPs, and digital marketing strategies, propelling companies towards digital excellence.
SwipeJobb 1.0: The Human Edition
Upon arriving in Sweden, Sheikh faced the challenges of a student balancing studies and work, commuting for hours about 200km every day to study in Karlskrona and working in restaurants in Malmö, Sweden. These experiences brought him into contact with numerous business owners and university students in search of part-time jobs, igniting the idea that would become SwipeJobb.
Sheikh’s Reflection on the Beginning: “In the beginning, I just wanted to help people. I saw the struggle to find suitable jobs and employees, and I wanted to make it easier. What we do with SwipeJobb is essentially a digital & smart version of the connections and help I was providing back then.”
